David Letterman on Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension:
“You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful, or because you’re trying to suck up to an authoritarian— a criminal—administration in the Oval Office.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Last week, the Park Service, Forest Service, and other public land agencies laid off more than 10% of their workforce.
Without adequate staff, the health of public lands will suffer. Congress must take urgent action to restore the workforce that keeps our public lands open, safe, and maintained.

Protect Public Lands and Outdoor Recreation
Public lands staffing cuts = fewer maintained trails, campground closures & longer emergency response times. These cuts will directly impact outdoor recreation this summer. Learn more & take action.

Take over Canada, Greenland, Panama Canal, Gaza. Add Tariffs and get rid of parts of the government.
So what exactly is he doing to help the citizens of the US?? I thought his focus was groceries and the economy but he only cares about himself and the billionaires.
